Gender Spectrum Conference

Last weekend I volunteered the Gender Spectrum Conference in Berkeley, CA. It was very intense and lots of hard work, and I’ve been carrying the fatigue throughout this week. But I’m incredibly thankful to have been a part of such a wonderful endeavor. Summary As a quick summary, here’s what I spent the weekend doing: Greeting people, while directing them to obscure buildings on the … Continue reading Gender Spectrum Conference

Carnival of Aces: Relationships

This is the round-up post for August’s Carnival of Aces. This month’s theme was relationships, and we had a wide range of participants and posts. The Finalists Guess what? Everybody made the cut! (Ok, it was never a competition to begin with, but now you can’t say you’ve never won anything). Here’s the rundown, in alphabetical order: Ace Eccentric (from an Asexual Space) questions what’s … Continue reading Carnival of Aces: Relationships

Carnival of Aces: Not Interested

This is my submission for the Carnival of Aces. Not Interested I don’t often frequent bars or clubs, and I don’t have many single friends that do either (nor many single friends at that).

Comment Party!

Celebrate! This blog has hit a major milestone: 250 comments! It’s an arbitrary number that looks arbitrarily large, so it sounds like a good enough excuse to celebrate! Share! I love hearing people’s thoughts – in fact, if I had a super power it would be mind-reading (among other things). In lieu of that, why don’t you share your thoughts voluntarily? That’s right, post a … Continue reading Comment Party!

Reader Ramblings: The Process of Getting Top Surgery

I recently added an Ask box to the blog – you might want to check it out! Question I was looking for FTN pictures on google and came across this, so I’m sorry if you’ve already answered (I haven’t read all of your stuff), but how did you go about getting the surgery and was there any other transitioning you did and how? I’m neutrois … Continue reading Reader Ramblings: The Process of Getting Top Surgery
